The tooth itself literally broke off. X-ray is pretty nasty. I don't think he would scam me as he previously upgraded a crown he did that he didn't like the development of to a bridge without charging me.
Yeah, I've been dealing with a lot of dental stuff recently and based on that, i don't think that's too scammy of a price despite obviously being too damn high and bullshit that people have to come up with money like that for healthcare of any kind.
I have literally spent over $20,000 on dentistry over the years, I say over because I stopped counting a long time ago
If a flight to Mexico is feasible you could look into getting dental done there. Would probably be cheaper and you could squeeze in a short vacation.
i know people that went to costa rica to get dental work for like a 3rd of the price, but that was a few years ago
Dental tourism: go to Costa Rica to save money on dental care, and treat yourself to a vacation while you're at it.
Did he have some ragtime playing while he performed the operation? this is important
mostly Enya iirc
